This game looks decent enough to buy. I just wish the Vita had a true killer app by now...
morganfell  +   342d ago | Well said
Oh look, well known PlayStation hater is the first one to post.

Seriously this is just trolling.

What is the issue? You spend more time in Sony threads downplaying their services and hardware than you do in 360 threads talking up their games and hardware? Do you realize what this says about you and your insecurity?

Sad behavior actually. And I am laughing. While these people are sitting on the ground staring up at Vita grapes I am gaming my ass off on that device.

The Vita already has killer apps. The only people that can't acknowledge that are those determined to see it fail. It's amazing to watch sites grade Vita titles and go after things in these games that were given a patented free ride in other titles.

But this is expected when those claiming to grade have no standards.

Thats what trolls do.
Trolling IS their platform.
EmperorDalek  +   342d ago
So, where are these killer apps you claim the Vita has? You know what a killer app is don't you. You know, a game that everyone wants and is the reason why millions of people will buy the hardware to play. So, again where are these killer apps? Has a Vita game even reached a top 10 game sales list?

Half a year since its launch the Vita has struggled to move 3 millions. If the Vita had these killer apps your talking of I dare say it would have sold twice as many units. Sure it has some solid games but nothing that stands out as being must have.
LOGICWINS  +   342d ago
Personally Morganfell, I feel that the people who defend Vita as if it were their first born are just as insecure as people who want Vita to fail. If someone saying that they wish Vita had a killer app results in you calling them a troll, then thats a problem. And the fact that you needed to bring up ur OPINION that someone is a "Playstation Hater"(which has nothing to do with the topic) actually displays ur own insecurity.

I could understand if the first person who commented opened up with "Vita sucks", but if saying a game looks decent and wishing the Vita had a true killer app (just like most gamers on the fence about purchasing Vita) is "trolling" in ur mind, then you TRULY fit the N4G stereotype that this is home to blind Sony worshippers.

@smashcrash- Thank you. You have proven my point.

My only gripe with this game is I want more and there's nothing left to do but wait on dlc.. even then after dlc you will be wanting more.. Love this game...

@EmperorDalek

I think you're half right about what a killer app is. Although i think you mean 'game'.

A killer game doesn't always mean epic sales or top 10 lists. If anything the killer games to me are usually the ones people sleep on where as judging by what you're talking about, you would like a game that busts sales such as COD(which is coming).

As for half a year let's not forget until late February it had only launched in one place on the planet. February was it's full release and that's 4 months ago.

It's had great games. Uncharted is great, Wipeout never get's old, escape plan is fantastic, Rayman is good, Gravity rush is brilliant, Everybodys golf is always fun.

Vita had the biggest launch line-up of any console yet. Don't get me wrong i'm not saying they are all fantastic, because that would be false(and it's a reason for the 'no games argument').

In fact i'd say only the games i listed plus maybe a couple psn only titles and of course psp games are worth playing at the moment.

It does show and get my point across that, despite what people say there are good games there. This is a handheld/portable device. Mostly intended for travel/out of home use(in theory, we know it doesn't work that way) so a few games is enough to keep people going each month.

Not only this but all consoles have a fairly weak/slow launch. Because of marketing/timing etc. Look at the 3DS, that was heading vita's direction until they dropped the price and announced a really strong line up late 2011.

I personally just don't understand the hate Vita gains. Yeah it has flaws(like every device) such as insanely expensive memory cards. The device is good though and the best titles take time, we all know this. The no games argument just isn't true. More would be better but it is what it is.

@Elimin8
Luckily i got DLC with my copy, included some extra missions and a new costume for Kat. I agree though, this could form into a great franchise. It's like Infamous for me, great/fresh game but over time will become a bit repetitive. Then hopefully as with Infamous 2 a sequel will show up and make our jaws drop haha.

"Uncharted is great, Wipeout never get's old, escape plan is fantastic, Rayman is good, Gravity rush is brilliant, Everybodys golf is always fun."

I have those exact games except Everybody's Golf.. I do have MSrc...
dafegamer  +   342d ago
Seems like you havent played the Game, sorry but this game already has "Killer App" written all over it.
The majority of review Sites describe this Game as Best
Vita game and "Must Have"
smashcrashbash  +   342d ago
And Logicwins jumps to defend again. Strange how you are always there to either troll or jump to the defense of people's negativity and downplay of Sony.I salute you. You are a very clever troll indeed to get all those bubbles.

" You are a very clever troll indeed to get all those bubbles."

I've been saying that for a long time. And the statement about you proving his "point" is so funny.
Fyflin  +   342d ago
I love it so far. It's the perfect kind of game for the Vita too, you can spend a couple of hours on it in one go or just play it for ten mins here and there.

Absolutely love the AR comic scenes too. More of this on Vita please, I'd LOVE to see a Vita version of Infamous!
PS_Family  +   342d ago
Love the game. Very charming character and world with little loading. Control can take awhile to get it but I've been having fun so far.
AznGaara  +   342d ago
Just beat it. Its a GREAT GAME! Very different from the normal fps and 3rd person shooter thats out right now. Which is a shame because thats the reason this probably wont sell. Its definitely not a game that can hook the mass market by just looking at it, you have to play to see why this game deserves a purchase. It is without a doubt the BEST game on the Vita so far.
Kran  +   342d ago
I bought it the other day.

I like it, but it's not brilliant. The gameplay mechanics can feel a little bugged out especially when the camera tends to spaz out randomly.
MySwordIsHeavenly  +   342d ago
Not sure if serious...
Ultr  +   342d ago
:D :D :D hahahahaha
Kran  +   342d ago
I'd still rank it in the 7's to 8s like most reviewers are doing, but sometimes it's really hard to control the character when the camera flips out on you when you're standing there.

Plus there have been instances when I am just standing there and I turn the camera only for it to move too hard and then go back to normal speed.
dboyman  +   342d ago
Got the game, started playing it so far. The game mechanics are unique. Really enjoying it except a few glitches with camera, and the combat system. I am trying to get used to it, but find it at times frustrating. For combat, wish they would have a auto lock on enemies, since a lot of times with gravity combat have hard time aiming with enemies that move constantly, especially if you have to re-adjust and redo a gravity based attack. Unless further in the game Kat develops one or upgrades can help improve the combat, or a game patch in the future. But everything else is great on the game. Enjoying exploring the city, ability to defy gravity in an open world, on a portable game system no less.

Most reviewers are giving 9 and 10 reviews actually
not 7 and 8

Kran  +   342d ago
actually its fairly even.
BlaqMagiq24  +   342d ago
I beat the game and now I'm goin back and doing all the side missions. Definitely has a lot left to keep you playing after you beat the story. This is definitely one of the best games Ive played in years. And no thats not an exaggeration.
MySwordIsHeavenly  +   342d ago
Probably the best thing to come out of Japan this entire generation! I freakin' love this game! This is the reason I bought a Vita and it's the reason two of my friends bought Vitas this week.

It does make me wish there were an inFamous game on Vita though. ;) Maybe even a port of the first two games.
LiViNgLeGaCY  +   341d ago
Seriously dude. I was hyped for this game, but I still had no idea it was going to be THIS great!
KonaBro  +   342d ago
Awesome game.
Of course when you have trolls like Logic, Dalek, and Viking, they will try their darnedest to troll and spread FUD. Of course, pay these clowns not attention and enjoy your game guys.
Skateboard  +   342d ago
The soundtrack is sooo good, its fresh and gives you a epic feeling through out the whole game.
Hicken  +   342d ago
Such a great game. I told myself I wasn't going to play last night since I was already sleepy and it was late... two hours later I was still up, floating through the sky.

People keep clamoring that the Vita needs a "killer app." I think it's funny. "Yeah, I like Escape Plan, Uncharted, Unit 13, Wipeout, and Gravity Rush, but it's lacking that ONE game to make people buy it."

... because there's more than one. When you start out with a library full of games, why do you need ONE? If anything, the Vita's library itself is the killer app, especially for a system so young.
belac09  +   342d ago
great game, im stuck at the tower boss though, but ill get him.
Outlaw1986  +   342d ago
Yeah for the vita I now have
Gravity rush
MSG had collection
Uncharted: ga
Resistance: burning skies
Mortal kombat: komplete edition
MLB 2012: the show
So the games r coming in now I think I have a pretty good collection so I don't know what people r saying there's not enough games.then there's still a few I might pick up if they go on sale. Oh well back to beating gravity rush.
souljah45  +   342d ago
Just finished it ans Gravity Rush 'IS' a killer app
lilmetal  +   342d ago
Maybe I'm just bad at the game, but I can't get used to the controls...
At least 70% percent complete, and I'm still screaming at the game in frustration.

Like, the Slide move in the Inferno area. Couldn't do it...
Kept flying off the edge within seconds of starting the move.
But, again, maybe I'm just pathetic...
Ultr  +   342d ago
the sliding is hard, thats true, wish you could just use the right stick
I got used to it kinda, its fun :D
SpinalRemains138  +   341d ago
I have seen so many good things about this game that I should probably buy it already.

It just doesn't seem like the right game for a man in his late 30s. It looks very Japanese and feminine. Hello Kitty is both of those and I wouldn't play that.

Maybe I have to just try it for myself and stop with the prior judgement.
Besides, the Title screen reminds me of 'Master of Reality'. That alone should warrant a purchase from me.

Yes. Get it.

This is NOTHING like Hello Kitty. The gameplay, story, atmosphere and music are nothing short of amazing. Buy this game!
kingdavid  +   341d ago
The boss in chapter 10 is probably the most irritating ive played in a while. (The one where gravity rush only lasts a couple of seconds).

Apart from that, the game is pretty awesome.
